There were many people lined up in front of and behind Old Tongsheng, and it was nearly noon when it was their turn. The two of them entered Minglun Hall, signed up, got their number plates, and left to find a place to rest.
The two of them were cash-strapped, so naturally they couldn't go to a hotel, so they found a small inn to stay.
This inn is located in a remote place with simple facilities, so the price is cheap.
The remote location and poor facilities are not a problem for the two old boys, but the inn is full of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people living in it, porters, coolies, drivers, long-distance travellers, merchant porters Noisy and noisy , making a lot of noise, which made it impossible for the two old students to study quietly and prepare for the next day's exam.
The old boy who was carrying the dry food bag read the two papers hard, but couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to open the door and go out to get some air in the yard.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people standing in front of the door of the opposite room, muttering and not knowing what to say, the door of the opposite room was not closed, and he could see several people standing or sitting inside.
Old Tongsheng recognized these people as porcelain merchants who pulled a cart of porcelain at the gate of the city and claimed to be from Jingdezhen.
The three people standing in the yard felt the gaze of Old Tongsheng, and one of them raised his head to look at him.
This man has a fleshy face, a beard, protruding eyes, a burly figure, and a coarse cloth full of oil stains. He looks like a pig butcher, with a ferocious expression on his face. This look made the old boy terrified. light.
He originally wanted to walk around in the courtyard, but was stared at by the businessman, so he hurriedly turned around and went back to the house without saying a word.
The old boy collecting firewood in the house was still reading a tattered anthology of the time in his hand with his head depressed. The noise in the inn seemed to have no effect on him at all.
The old Tongsheng who was carrying the dry food package seemed to be in shock, as soon as he came in, he said to the old Tongsheng who was collecting firewood: "Brother Zhang"
The old Tongsheng who was collecting firewood was muttering something with his eyes half closed, and he didn't hear his voice at all.
The old Tongsheng who was carrying the dry food bag had no choice but to lean closer to him, looked at him and yelled twice: "Brother ZhangBrother Zhang"
The old Tongsheng who was collecting firewood looked up from the tattered art book as if he had just woken up from a dream, squinted his short-sighted eyes, looked at the old Tongsheng who was carrying the dry food bag, and asked, "Brother Liu, what's the matter?"
The old Tongsheng surnamed Liu turned his head and looked out of the yard, and said worriedly: "Brother Zhang, I went out to the yard just now, and saw some people who were neither embarrassed nor embarrassed."
"What kind of person is neither awkward nor awkward?" The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang asked strangely.
"Do you still remember those porcelain merchants we saw at the gate of the city?"
The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang thought about it carefully, and then remembered that he had indeed seen such a group of businessmen, so he nodded slowly: "There are such people"
"I saw them in the courtyard." Old Tongsheng surnamed Liu said with some fear.
"Oh, so they also live in this inn" the old boy surnamed Zhang said slowly.
"I think these people are a bit strange, they don't look like good people." Old Tongsheng surnamed Liu said.
"Brother Liu, we will stay here for one night, and we will go back after the exam tomorrow. What do you care about him?"
"That's not the case. The world is not peaceful, and there are also businessmen and robbers. We must guard against it."
"Brother Liu, you worry too much. Even if they are robbers, they may not think highly of us. Do we have anything worth grabbing?"
"That's not what I said. I saw the faces of three of them just now. I'm afraid they will kill people if they move their hands." The old Tongsheng surnamed Liu trembled when he said the next few words.
"Brother Liu, this is all just your guess. How can you say that they are robbers? The exam is coming tomorrow, and it is important for us to study hard. If we enter the school this time, we can get some official food. If you can¡¯t be an official, you can make a living by setting up a tent, opening a restaurant, and working as a teacher.¡± The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang thought that the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu was making random guesses and making alarmist remarks, and after saying these few words, he looked down at him again. That's a bad time.
The old Tongsheng surnamed Liu had no choice but to pick up his book and read it, but he still couldn't rest assured, so he got up after reading for a while and went out.
The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang has been immersed in the world of rotten prose at this time. The so-called "into the abalone for a long time without asking its stink", this kind of rotten stereotyped prose, ordinary people will all look sideways and shake their heads. The old boy surnamed Zhang read it like a delicacy, and he enjoyed it as much as he liked.
After a while, the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu pushed the door open again, this time with an even more horrified expression on his face, he closed the door tightly, and came in again.Zhang's old Tongsheng said beside him: "Brother Zhang, there must be something strange about those people!"
The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang was at the point of joy when he was suddenly interrupted, he came back to his senses, looked up at the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "Brother Liu, what's the matter? It was a surprise."
"Guess who I saw?" The old Tongsheng surnamed Liu didn't care about his dissatisfaction, but continued.
"Who did you see again?" the old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang asked without taking his eyes off the rotten book.
"Xiucai, I saw those scholars!" The old boy surnamed Liu said in a hurry.
"What? A scholar?" The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang raised his head from the book, and looked at the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu suspiciously, "Didn't you get it wrong? How could a scholar live in this kind of shop?"
"I'm right, those scholars are here to find those merchants who sell porcelain."
"Buy porcelain from them?"
"What kind of porcelain to buy? Scholars are here to participate in the inspection of the school inspectors. What kind of porcelain are they buying for no reason? Besides, those scholars are not here in front of Minglun Hall today. I was surprised at the time, but now they come to this inn to talk to you. There must be something strange about those businessmen joining together!"
"Did you see it clearly?" The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang was not an idiot, and he was a little surprised when he said that.
"Of course I can see clearly."
"I heard that there are rogues attacking various state capitals recently" the old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang said suddenly.
"Rogues? Brother Zhang, are you saying that these people might be rogues?"
The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang looked at him, but did not speak.
"Then what should we do?" the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu said in panic.
The old Tongsheng surnamed Zhang glanced at the Shiwen in his hand, and remained silent.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the two old boys looked at each other suspiciously, but neither dared to answer.
"Are the guests in there?"
The two old boys recognized the voice of the store owner.
Only then did the old Tongsheng surnamed Liu respond tremblingly: "What advice does the shopkeeper have?"
"I don't dare to teach you," the store owner said outside, "I was entrusted by your guests in the opposite room to bring you something." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
